Department of Ocean Engineering at Texas A&M University

College Station, Texas, United States • 4 Employees
Higher Education

The Department of Ocean Engineering began in fall 2015 with the merging of two related programs at Texas A&M – Ocean Engineering in College Station and Offshore and Coastal Systems Engineering in Galveston. This merger brought together the world-class infrastructure and resources of the large engineering campus at College Station with the strategic waterfront location and assets of Galveston.Our students have the unique opportunity to earn their undergraduate or graduate degree at either of the two campuses while benefitting from the expertise of every faculty member through remote telecommunication technology. Students attending the Galveston campus will learn in field-testing facilities with direct access to coastal and waterfront operations. Students attending the College Station campus will have classes in the state-of-the-art Zachry Engineering Education Complex.These are exciting and challenging times for the field of ocean engineering. While some of the more classical ocean engineering disciplines are maturing into tested-technology, new areas of interest in deepwater offshore technology, renewable energy, air-sea interaction engineering, coastal and ocean environmental protection and preservation are rejuvenating the field.
